모젤케른‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 동굴

A magnificent 🏰, looming over the vineyards of the town of Alken 🤩. Wonderfully accessible via the Moselsteig trail or the Traumpfade trail 😊.

Thurant Castle with its two towers is unmistakable

🏰Eltz Castle is a hilltop castle from the 12th century. It is located at 129 m above sea level in the Elz valley🌊. With its eight residential towers up to 35 meters high, its bay windows, roofs, half-timbering and spires, it is the epitome of a knight's castle for the spontaneous observer.⚔️ It sits majestically in a side valley of the Moselle near Mayen. This imposing sight even adorned the 500 DM note for several decades.

A fairytale castle high above the Moselle. Around every corner you discover something beautiful. The entrance fee is very humane, as is the food and drink available at the kiosk. Everywhere beautiful seating areas that invite you to linger. You can drive your car straight to the parking lot or you can hike up the path from Alken past the white cross

The view over Alken to Thurant Castle and the Moselle is simply great. The castle is also a good starting point for longer tours.

The castle can be visited and one of the towers can also be climbed.

Climb one of the two towers and enjoy the view.

The ruins of Thurant Castle (also known as Thurandt) stand on a broad slate spur high above the town of Alken on the Moselle. It is located in the district of Mayen-Koblenz (Rhineland-Palatinate) and belongs to the type of spur castles. A special feature - in addition to the location on the steep valley shoulder - are the vineyards on the sunny side.
